Introduction: Accurate identification of the factors influencing change management systems can help organizations reduce employee resistance, increase the effectiveness of changes, and promote a safety culture. The aim of this study was to identify, classify, and prioritize the factors affecting change management in the oil industry using fuzzy hierarchical analysis.
Methods: In this qualitative study, the factors influencing change management in the oil industry were identified through a literature review and semi-structured interviews with 12 individuals involved in change management. The identified variables were classified using a two-round Delphi method, and their priorities were determined through fuzzy hierarchical analysis. Pairwise comparison matrices were completed by 16 experts.
Results: A total of 68 factors influencing change management in the oil industry were identified. These variables were classified into seven groups: individual, organizational, managerial, educational and empowerment, technical and operational, external, and socio-cultural factors. The results showed that the managerial factor was the most important (with a relative weight of 0.178). Among managerial factors, management commitment to safety was identified as the most critical factor influencing change management in the oil industry.
Conclusion: The findings indicated that the success of the change management system in the oil industry mainly depends on senior management’s commitment to safety. Individual, organizational, and technical factors also play important roles, and strengthening managerial competencies as well as improving educational and technical systems are key to enhancing organizational resilience.
